Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Live Architecture & Morality and More poster
7.0

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark - Live Architecture & Morality and More movie was released May 07, 2013 by the Eagle studio. Architecture & Morality, originally released in 1981, is considered by many to be the pinnacle of the band's career. It spawned an extensive European tour. For the early part of this tour, including this concert filmed in high definition at London's Hammersmith Apollo in May, the concert was split into 2 halves. The first part of the evening was a complete performance of the album, while the 2nd half was a greatest hits set covering the rest of the band's illustrious career.

Messages: OMD Greatest Hits poster
NR

The complete collection of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark's conceptual videos. It is the first time that all of the band's music videos have been released on DVD. "Joan of Arc" had no video filmed at the time, so a mimed performance on the UK music show Top of the Pops has been added to the DVD instead. "Hold You" was considered as the second single from Crush and a promo video was made, but the single was never released.

Bauhaus Staircase OMD ARTefact poster
NR

This lavish product comprehensively celebrates the audiovisual world of OMD’s 14th studio album Bauhaus Staircase. Working in close collaboration with cine1080, the music videos for the singles from the record were the band’s most ambitious yet. Refusing on a point of principle to use any AI in their work, these videos are lovingly CGI generated and were the results of many months of labour. In addition to all the music videos of the singles & promotional tracks released from the album, this luxurious book boasts 32 pages of imagery, a full-length conversation between Andy McCluskey and cine1080’s Andy Whitehurst about their creative working relationship, the full Bauhaus Staircase album & b-sides in high-resolution audio, the live visuals used on the Bauhaus Staircase Tour (with brand new live tracks recorded in Edinburgh and London and mixed by Paul Humphreys) plus more.
